Totara supports cloud file storage as an optional, additional way to store and backup files from your site.
There are a number of reasons to use cloud-based file storage on your Totara site, including:
- Regular, scheduled backups to keep copies of your files online
- Limiting the size of shared dataroot in web clusters
- Sharing content between different environments (e.g. staging and production sites)
There are multiple cloud storage options, including Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage, as well as custom store providers.
You can find out more about configuring cloud file storage in the developer documentation.
